Subject: Is prophecy dead? |
Bible Note: Dear Nolan Keck, That is exactly what I was saying. I was going on to the question of prophesy today. Many think that prophesy is about the future and equate it with fortune telling which it is not. today it must speak to men, for their edification exhortation, and consolation. 1Cor.14:3 ect. If you compare all the references to prophesy in the new testament you will see this displayed, sometimes with reference to a future event, but always for edification, exhortation and consolation of persons to whom it was directed. today we see the same thing, but there are many that claim to be prophets that do not do that. they are talking about some magic idea of self agrandizment, and worldly recognition that is not biblical. Prophesy is for today as much as any time in the past, (maybe moreso) thank you, miguel carpenter |
